Description

I love the push cart hot dogs, mainly because of the onions they serve on top…so I mixed and matched many different ingredients until I came up with the perfect combination for this recipe! This tastes just like the kind of onions I often would get from my favorite hot dog stands!

  • 1 extra large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®)
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  7. black pepper
  8. and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low
